Looking for easy-to-use tech to incorporate into your law firm? Use this blog post as your guide to finding gadgets and softwares that will fit your firm and team perfectly. Adopting the best tech for your work flow will take your firms processes to the next level.

 

 

Gadgets & Tools

The tech tools you use at your firm ultimately come down to personal preference. Instead of debating on which is better - Mac or Windows - here's the breakdown for both.

 

Mac

If you're running off Apple, we recommend using a combination of their products because of how well all Apple devices work together.

 

  • iMac: Your desktop computer for the office
  • MacBook Pro: The perfect laptop for the traveling attorney.
  • iPad Pro: Great for taking case notes during client meetings and more.
  • iPhone Xs: Need to get some work done while on-the-go? the iPhone X is your go-to for typing out a quick note.
  • Airpods: Hands-free client phone calls without the bulky headset.

Windows

PC users have some great options when it comes to law firms.

 

  • Microsoft Surface Pro: An all-in-one device that can function as a tablet and laptop.
  • Monitor & Docking Station: Dock your surface pro whenever you're in the office to get a desktop feel.
  • Bose Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphones: These might be a little bulkier than Airpods, but these Bose headphones block out all other noise so you can focus on whatever task you're working on. (bonus - there's a version available for apple users)
  • Samsung Note 9: This phone's ample screen and its accompanying stylus make taking notes on the fly possible.

 

 

Softwares

Every law firm needs a set of softwares to manage their cases, clients, marketing efforts, and more!

 

  • Clio: An all comprehensive legal practice management software.
  • NextChapter: Our bankruptcy software is more than just for filing cases. The linear workflow allows you to manage, prepare, and file your cases in the most efficient way possible.
  • Canva & Buffer: A great pair for the design and marketing novice. Canva will help you create graphics, ads, and more. While Buffer will help with your social media scheduling.
  • MailChimp: If you're looking for a way to implement monthly or quarterly newsletters into your firm's marketing strategy, MailChimp is a great place to start!
